# rabbitmq-c and Windows
rabbitmq-c can now be built on Windows using the MinGW/MSYS ports of
the GNU toolchain and miscellaneous utilities. This includes the
example programs and tools.
The results are native Windows DLLs and EXEs, and can be used without
having MinGW installed. But the librabbitmq header files currently
use GCC extensions, and for this reason it is still not possible to
use Microsoft's C/C++ to build applications against the librabbitmq
DLL. Hopefully this will get fixed before long.
# Building rabbitmq-c
rabbitmq-c is built on Windows using MinGW and MSYS. In brief, MinGW
is a native port of the GNU toolchain to Windows; MSYS is a set of
ports of common GNU utilities to run under Windows, so that typical
autotools-based builds will work there. MinGW/MSYS can be used to
build native Windows applications and DLLs, which do not depend on
MinGW/MSYS to run.
So to build rabbitmq-c on Windows, you need to download and install
the relevant parts of MinGW/MSYS. This can be a fairly time consuming
process - there are about 20 files to be downloaded and unpacked. To
make it easier, we provide a bash script that automates this process,
in rabbitmq-c/etc/install-mingw.sh. You can run this cygwin, or under
Linux and copy the results over or put them on a shared drive. Some
MinGW packages are .tar.lzma files, so it requires a system with xz
and a tar that supports the -J option, which probably rules out OSX.
Run install-mingw.sh specifying the destination directory, e.g.
$ etc/install-mingw.sh /tmp/mingw
Python is needed for the rabbitmq-c build, so you will also need to
install python under Windows. The Windows installer from python.org
will do fine.
You will need to get the rabbitmq-c and rabbitmq-codegen source code.
If you are getting it from Mercurial, you will need to run "autoreconf
-i" within rabbitmq-c somewhere other than under MinGW first (perhaps
this can be done under MinGW/MSYS, but the packages installed by
install-mingw.sh are not sufficient).
Open a cmd window, and ensure that both the MinGW bin directory and the python install directory are in the path, e.g.
C:\>set PATH=%PATH%;C:\mingw\bin;C:\Python26
Then start bash, and run the following mount command (substituting the
Windows path of your MinGW install):
C:\>bash
bash-3.1$ mount 'C:\mingw' /mingw
Then go to the rabbitmq-c directory, and configure and make as normal:
bash-3.1$ ./configure && make
[...]
# Running the tools without mingw
You can run the resulting tools EXEs without the rest of MinGW. To do
this, copy the following files into a directory:
- rabbitmq-c/tools/.libs/*.exe
- rabbitmq-c/librabbitmq/.libs/librabbitmq-0.dll
- /lib/libpopt-0.dll
- /lib/libiconv-2.dll
- /lib/libintl-8.dll
